Tho Origin of iho word "DoodIe. "

The word "boodle" has gone into the
United States language. Eastern news
papers, even those OF Boston, use it
without quotation marks. We believe
the word originally appeared in the
Commercial Gazette in report of the
great American Express robbery in Gin.
cinnati several Years ago. One Sunday
afternoon one.lOrae wagon was driven
mp the office on Race street, q small iron
travelling safe loaded on aud taken across
the river into Kentucky and rihed.

employed by the Express Company to
work mp the case, and he succeeded in
recovering most of the money. Whom
met by reporter at the police station
after the lucky capture Hazen threw UP
his hands in happy mood and exclaimed.
"We've got the "boodlel" The word
was afterwards used to denote money
used for dishonest purposes in locS
